breathe

breathe in

hold it

everywhere I look

people go about their day

unaware, uncaring

my finger naked

my body exposed

this is my last breath

and no one knows

breathe out

 

breathe in

hold it

everywhere I look

people go about their lives

unaffected, unknowing

my dreams gone

my heart shattered

this is my last breath

it never really mattered

breathe out

 

breathe in

hold it

everywhere I look

I see you

unappreciated, unloved

my everything hopeful

my arms open wide

I’d take a million last breaths

to have you by my side

breathe out

 

 

 

breathe in…

 

hold it.
